Rolling Stones Live Document
"Shine A Right"

Shibuhigashi ShinetawaScreening in the movie finally became 19th this week"Shine A Right". It is a live documentary of R. Stones who you know (Photo 1).I carried legs once more in the press preview and even to the theater. Just for Stones, who has an average age of 64, the age group of audiences is slightly higher. It seems that the late show from 20:45 on the Cinema Tower is affecting the customer base.

Until now, a number of Stones documentaries have been made, but since the directors served as "lonely artists" such as Jean-Luc Godard and Robert Frank, all finished works are Stones fans It was a "art work" left behind.
This time the director is Martin Scorsese. Only veterans who balanced well with Hollywood 's box office supremacy and writership finished in a remarkable work reaching the itchy place that catered to the needs of Stones fans.

The most important thing to say about this piece, it is a sense of presence that Stones live at a hall with capacity of 2000 people. New York 's "Beacon Theater" which became the stage is Jaco which made the "CC Lemon Hole" even smaller in the case of Shibuya. It is just right if Keith Richards or Ron Wood's live, but there are never 4 full members who will appeared in this class hall, plus Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts.

I sympathize deeply with the sense that made the title of the movie "Shine a Light". Is Mick 's idea or the idea of ​​Scorsese? The D side of "main street vodka", this number recorded in the 2nd from the last song, general publicity is zero, Stones fans are famous deeply listened to. By the way, I also have a number of Stones numbers, the most favorite song is "Shine A Light".
I am thankful for the prompt decision of a distribution company that has released the Japan without changing the original title. To tell the truth, I was fighting as if I was to add "Satisfaction" to the title.
It is only a few days after release to the public. It is a movie that makes me want to watch it again at the end.
